The BMW dope

[mshihrer]

So during our little run down HWY 155 after Greenhorn Summit, I look in my mirrors and realize it's not Byron behind me anymore, but what I at first thought was a V-Strom. But after we stopped at the bottom, I was told it was a BMW. Anyway, this guy passed the three riders behind me, on solid double yellow lines. He even locked up his rear wheel coming up real hard behind Ron W, I guess. Good thing I had the camera rolling when I let him by. Pay particular attention to his riding gear.

and incase you missed it, here's a video grab:

I was just over on the COG site and we lost another rider... Then,,, you see someone dressed like this,,, riding like you said he did,,, when my friend dies when a 70 year old turns left and kills him on his bike...

Right now,,, I am having a hard time typing,,, and trying to deal with reality while looking at someone who is REALLY,,, stupid...

Hope his legs don't ever meet Mr Asphalt,,, or Miss Rock...

Just curious. How fast where you going? What brand of cam using? How mounted?

Looks like he has ridden those roads many times before, but that's no excuse of the lack of gear!

I wasn't going fast, 50 max on that road. I use a Panasonic PV-GS250 mounted on a ram mount on the brake lever. 3" arm.

When we got to Glenville, he was already turned around and heading back up. I think he was just going up and down that section.
